The Saturday Review recently pub

of a general war in Europe upon the
world at large, and especially the United
States. It's conclusions are as follows:
A great war in Europe would increase

secondly. because there would be a
tendency to send capital out OF the
belligerent countries to the neutral
countries for safe keeping and for in

How a great war in Europe would
affect the United States in some re-
spects it is easy to foretell. Emigra-
tion would be stimulated, because
persons liable to military operations,
Tearing the increased taxation which
the cost OF great war would make
necessary, would be inclined to seek a
refuge from these evils in the United
States. The demand for American
products OF all kinds would be in.
creased, and thus our agriculture and
manufactures would be stimulated to

that the United States last year sur
passed Great Britain in the consump-
tion OF iron and the production Of
steel of all kinds. We have surpassed
that nation in the production of Bes-

before could it be said that our aggre-

this the whole OF the story; during the

The County Printing Awarded.

The board Of supervisors ordered
the newspaper publishers to file
their applications for county priut-
ing, with certified lists, before that
body on Wednesday morning at 9
o'clock. THE REPUBLICAN list
was largest, the 1Advocate second,
and the Extra Journal third. H.
F. Andrews, representing the latter,
asked PERMISSION to examine the
books of the first two named, with 4
view to contestipg the lists. The
request was granted, but the inVes.
tlgation was not pursued, and last
evening at 7 o'clock, the county
printing for the ensuing year was
awarded to THE REPUBLICAN and
the Advocafe. The work SO pro-
miscuously denominated as county
printing comprises only the proceed
tngs of the board of supervisors, and
is not so much of a bonanza as is
generally believed. However, the
compensation is adequate, and while
any newspaper pretending to give
county news must publish the pro-
ceedings whether pay is received OF
not, as we always haye done hereto
fore, we feel somewhat elated that
we have found favor in the sight Of
the board. 1t is encouraging to the
yearling REPUBLICAN,.

The Fair Debt Liquidated.

1t has been source Of constant
regret that the Audubon County
Fair Association has been numbered
by debt of nearly 5000. This OBJ
legation has been an impeachment to
the association officers and has re-
larded improvement. Every move
has been cautious for fear Of enlarg-
ing the debt, and the overcaution
has ever hazardcd the chances for
progress. We believe every person
IN the county who has an interest in
the prosperity of the county's agri-
cultural exhibit will be glad to know
that the board Of supervisors has APP
propriated the sum of $500 toward
paying off this debt, and thus placed
the expense equally upon all sec
lions. When the state appropriation
which we believe is $2oo-shall
have been received, the association
will be out of debt and have some.
thing over $Ioo in the treasury with
which to begin preparations for the
exhibition of 1857. This will give
the enterprise new life and insti!l
courage to do in the hearts of the
new officers. The old officers have
administered the affairs wisely and
in the interests of all, but the debt
has ever admonished them to an
economy which though commenda.
ole may not at all times have been
advantageous.
The business men of Audubon
were only deferred from building a
new floral hall last year by the fac,
of the existence Of the debt, which
they thought should be wiped on,
before further improvements were
undertaken, and now that the deb
is no more, it is almost an assured
fact that the hall will be built during
the coming summer by funds raised
by the business men of this place
With the deb: gone, there is every
encouragement for improvement
and with b. F. Howald at the boon
end of the enterprise, the exhibition
of 1857 will be the most successful
in the history OF the society-Foster
